feeding

i have two nerite snails and I have tried to feed them veggie tabs but they don't like them, what should I feed them? Any recommendations? Thank You, Felipe Castellanos

My new c. Nanoluteus are very small and shy. I ground up some hikari gold, NLS, and veggie rounds to feed them but they don't seem to be eating much if at all. Should I just continue to add a small pinch each day and assume they try foraging for it? They're prob 3/4" or smaller I would guess and...

So I've recently started feeding beef heart to my discus after they wouldn't eat anything but blood worms for a while. I try and sneak some flakes in there for them but they rarely take it. Working on it and they are slowly adapting. The guy I got them from cooked up his own beef hears and fed...

Im having some trouble trying to find the right foods and feeding correct amounts. Sometimes I over feed, and many of the times suspect that the fish don't want to eat what their being fed. some details....... 10g BN pleco babies - have not yet touched cucumber or algae wafers... is...

Not the clearest Iphone picture but the babies sure do like the cucumber.

I've finally had a few ABN clutches come to fruition and have been trying to bulk them up via pre-boiled zucchini. They love it, it's like a chow line in the military. It is making my water very slimy however. I'm doing frequent water changes etc but its quite a mess. Any recommendations /...

My son came up from Florida for the holidays, and shared some of his videos with me, so I thought I'd share them with you. As you may know, he is a senior aquariast with the Mote Marine Aquarium in Sarasota, Florida. One of his specialties is breeding cuttle fish and octopus. This first one is...

So as we are showing our house am trying to sell it, we need to move my tanks and everything to my dad's house so we can move into the new house and get the water to my basement (fishroom) setup. My questions: 1) Can I feed newly free-swimming angelfish fry live BBS or microworms just once a...

I'd really love to get my African Cichlids to breed but haven't yet had any success. I have colonies of M. elongatus and Yellow Labs. The elongatus are still young but the labs should be getting to breeding size soon. I have a few of them that are reaching the 3.5" mark (or larger). Their...

So I was inspired by mikes great speech and I thought I should start a colony of crickets and a colony of worms, probably red wigglers or night crawlers. I set up the cricket enclosure this morning an just got the crickets. They are in a large critter keeper (upgrading to a larger setup in the...

So I picked up a pair of Double Red Apistos this weekend from Batfish. Wasn't planning on buying anything else, but you know how that goes ;) in addition to the apistos, I have some pencilfish and Aspidora catfish. all I have right now is NLS Grow, NLS cichlid and some spirulina flakes. the...

Wat's up everyone. I've been feeding NewLifeSpectrum the whole time I have been keeping large cichlids and predatory catfish. Recently I've seen many people having good results on this new YourFishStuff brand food. Many people also seem to like hikari . I was just wondering what everyone feeds...

These guys have learn already to hang out in the front of the tank when I start filtering out the BBS for their feeding time ....... 0uF_DFhF50Q

I picked up an F1 Pundamilia pundamilia at the CCA May meeting last year and he's grown to become my favorite cichlid I'm keeping. Last November he and a few others came down with some internal parasites. I treated them in a QT tank for a couple of weeks. I haven't seen any symptoms of internal...

Has anyone ever done this with there fish a lot? I just noticed my apistos loved my fruitflies and bean beetles. Curious on other peoples experience

Hi Everyone, I am trying to get my angel pair to breed and I know that high-protein beef heart is good for getting them in the mood. The problem is the female doesn't seem to like it. They normally eat flakes, dried bloodworms, dried brine shrimp, and frozen-fresh bloodworms. What is the best...

Like many of my CCA friends at the Catfish Convention this past weekend, I was drawn into the world of fancy plecos. I picked up a group of 4 L-066's, all around 1.5". I currently have them in a 10 gallon tank, bare bottomed with a few caves, stones, fake plants, and driftwood pieces. I am a...

So yesterday i learned im the proud papa of a whole mess of convict fry! now ive done swordtail fry but they would swim around and eat when i put food in the tank. But the cons stay in their little cave. How do get food to them!? Oh and their currently in a 29g bowfront with only mom and dad...

I just lost one of my cynotilapia Jalo reef to ?. Perfectly healthy and active 3 days ago, then noticed it was spending most of the time at the bottom, sort of being pushed by the water current(essentially, weaker than normal). Colors were muted, and would not feed. No outward signs of anything...
